There Are Those Moments, Those Happy Few, On The Cusp…

There are those moments in life, when you have worked a long time, toiling at some unpleasant task in the hope that someday, just maybe, you might find a small gem in the dreck through which you wade…

Then there is a sparkle. Is it a gem? Or just broken glass ready to nick you?

You are on the cusp.

It is both energizing and fearful.

A moment in time, never to return again.

On one side lays a long history of unpleasantness.

On the other side may be a field of dreams, or may be more dreck.

And you must “do the deed” and pick up the sparkle and find out the future.

But not just yet.

There is great joy some times in standing on the cusp. Wondering: “Is this the moment?”

And that is where we are right now with GIStemp benchmarks. I’ve spent a very long time getting it to run, producing the files it makes. Even took a long slow trip off into GHCN breakage and how the Thermometer Langoliers had eaten 93% of the thermometers in the U.S.A., discovering that GIStemp had broken input, so could only make broken output, after 2006. That side trip made some interesting tools. Tools that let us look at averages of temperature records over time, over altitude (my last newest toy), and over latitude. We discovered that The March Of The Thermometers was to the Equator. South for the world as a whole, but north for Australia. And this introduced a bias in the basic data.

Now, with the input data ‘characterized’, we know what it looks like. Now I can start to do what I set out to do when getting pulled into the GHCN “Great Dying of Thermometers”; that is, benchmark and measure and find out: What does GIStemp do to the input data?

And today I’ve seen a little sparkly bit in the dreck.

Today you get to see it too.

No analysis.

No answer.

Sparkle.

Well, I got carried away, and now there are too many blocks of data here. It’s bothersome to scroll through it. So I’m going to put some “jump to” links in here. They will take you to sections further down.

The Ts.txt file, Output of STEP1

In GIStemp, there are 5 1/2 steps. They call them by odd numbers for hysterical, er, historical reasons.

STEP0 just sucks in the “raw” data and glues it together. GHCN for most of it. Some special sauce from Germany for one long lived site. A direct addition of Antarctic data from the creators of it. And an old copy of the U.S.A thermometer records (up to 2007, when it cuts off. NOAA changed the file format from USHCN to USHCN.v2 and GIStemp, well, nobody told it…) and during the merging of USHCN and GHCN (that has the USHCN data in it, but in C instead of F) there is a bit of molestation of the two to combine them.

This is then handed off to STEP1 that does a bit of putty and spackle work. Gluing together bits of some records. Filling in data where there are none, (but someone nearby maybe has a bit that might be smeared over this way if you try really hard).

STEP2 does the “UHI” adjustment along with the first cut of zones and anomalies.

STEP3 does the “zones, but different zones” process and the Grid, Box, Anomaly work. And is basically the last step of “GIStemp, The Land Story”.

STEP4_5 just blends in the Hadley CRU Sea Surface Anomaly map. Since Hadley have lost their raw data for some large part of their products, and will not disclose the manipulations, er, pardon, “methods” they apply to the data, er, that they had, maybe, once upon a time … I’m frankly not very interested in STEP4_5 and even GIStemp says that it is an optional step in the source code… Guess they are not that impressed either…

FWIW STEP4 just gets an update of the Hadley map, and STEP5 merges it into the grids and boxes. They are combined in one actual STEP, so I’d call STEP4_5 ‘a step and a half’. You can decide which part is the 1/2 done part…

So we have 0, 1, 2, 3; that make four steps, then 1 1/2 for a 5 1/2 total steps.

Why do I mention this? (Other than to spend a bit more time in that wonderful sparkly “on the cusp” moment…)

To orient you to the data to be presented below.

The output of STEP1 is a file named Ts.txt and is fed as input to STEP2. I’ve written a bit of code that spits out a v2.mean format file from the program that translates Ts.txt into a binary file (Ts.bin) at the input to STEP2. This lets me use all those tools we’ve already been using. (The format is slightly different, since the “name” field has changed length in STEP1, but it’s an easy thing for which to adjust. But it does mean you will see things “one tool at a time” as I do the adjustment in the code…)

The first tool I converted was the “by latitude” tool. So the sparkly bit will be some listings of the “by latitude” reports from the basic input data (I can use either the v2.mean_comb file that is the output from STEP0, or I can use the GHCN v2.mean file that is the input to STEP0, which I think only introduces a bit of warming bias and no latitude bias to speak of.)

With that, you now know that what you will see are some charts of “by lattitude” data as it enters STEP0 (not glued together) and after that passes through STEP1 (putty, spackle, reach, spread, smear……). That is, what happens to the GHCN data as the USHCN is mergered, and the STEP1 spread, stretch, stitch and infill is done?

The temperature charts are based on the v2.mean_comb file (the input to STEP1 rather than the input to STEP0) and is compared to the output of STEP1. A spot check of v2.mean vs v2.mean_comb showed very little difference between the two.

Sparkly Bits Floating In The Dreck

I’ve just started to play with this new tool. It needs a shakedown cruise. I may have fumble fingered something and “messed something up”. So this is a new tool and may yet “have issues”.

I don’t think so. It was mostly just a shift of a format line by 6 characters for the reporting part, but I might have the extract from the Ts.txt file wrong. There is more dreck to wade through to get that part proven valid. But there is that “sparkly bit” that wants to be looked at Right Now, not after a week of preening and polishing and proving…. NOW!

So, with that caveat in place, what did I find?

I found that STEP1 seems to change the average latitude of thermometers for a place. That is, the “by latitude” chart has different numbers for different years. Perhaps an artifact of the “infill” in some cases ‘filling out a year’ for a thermometer where before there was not a thermometer…

Perhaps because things prior to 1880 are tossed out (though it also changes in the “by decade” and “by years” parts…). Perhaps by gluing, spreading, deleting, whatever. But change it does.

So we’re going to look at some “sparkly bits” of “by latitude” charts as I ponder what this means, if anything; and if I’ve got it right, and how best to make this a vetted finding and present example like this for more of the world…

New Zealand

Here you can see that the “v2.mean” data start before 1880, and the lines for each decade summary are labeled with “DecPct” for Decade Percent. For the version that runs against the “Ts.txt” data, they start in 1889 decade ending and have a DtsPct infix ‘header’.

And no, I do not yet know what it means or why it happens. For now, it is just a sparkly bit in the dreck as we are “On The Cusp”…

The temperature series looks like there is a lift to the temperatures in the mid to late 1980s and into the early 1990s. We again have the sort of “flattening” effect on ranges, and there is that amusing ‘creation of thermometers’ effect too. ;-)

The temperature series is rather interesting too. Looks like a bit of an increase in the tilt via cooling the past? Subtile enough it really will need a graph… But the fascinating bit is the thermometer count by years… GIStemp is quite clearly “creating” thermometers where there are none in the raw data.

The temperature series for South America look to me like there is a cooling of the very early years, then a lift in the 1920’s to present. Again, it is subtile enough that a graph would be helpful. We do also have the “thermometer creation” effect and a bit of flattening. It looks rather like a tiny bit of ‘peak clipping’ in a way.

An almost across the board warming of the 2006, 2007, and 2008. Those years are warmed in some cases by over 1 C (!) Yes, whole degrees… 2008 goes from -15.4 to -13.7, so that’s a warming of 1.7 C. We’re supposed to be excited about 1/10 C and this program fudges the temperature for the whole continent in whole degrees for an entire year?

I have to do a custom version of the “by latitude” report for Antarctica since I need to point it at the “after the merge” data, so that will have to wait a bit. For now, here are the Antarctic temperature data.

Before:

It is also of note that the very strong “locational bias” to the early data are still shining brightly through in this cut. Yes, we still have STEP2 and STEP3 to try and dampen down that 15C to 20C bias signal, but that is one heck of a lot of bias to filter out. And with what will it do the filtering? There simply were no center of the continent data from the early years. When the “Grid and Box” step comes, it does a “spiral out” search for thermometers to use in filling in the missing data, and that can only find warmer thermometers more north, since those are the only ones that exist in those early years… Yes, it will take those years and try to make an adjusted slope matched on overlap interval; but until 1900 the nearest Argentine thermometer was at more than 40 S latitude…

From an Antarctic perspective, the nearest “nearby up to 1200 km station” is rather far north!

Somehow I think the GIStemp process will be first shown significantly broken in those areas with the shortest temperature history, the most segmented records, most missing data, and the strongest variation of climate with latitude. And that would be Antarctica…

Indonesia

Having gotten the “temps” code going, I was curious what would happen with the “dropouts” in the 1991-1994 range. The strange thing is that it filled them in, but with “missing data flags”… Guess the “make up numbers” part comes later ;-) It is also odd to see that it has 28 thermometers, but can’t decide what value to make up for them. Even 1995 gets a bit of thermometer count ‘lift’.

Indonesia also has a sparse early history, so I was wondering what might happen “over the years” especially during the “Baseline” period of GIStemp.

It looks to me like, even with just one thermometer, GIStemp manages to COOL the past, while leaving the present more or less alone (maybe a little warming? It’s subtile. Inside my ‘visual integration’ error band…)

STEP1 is the Python step, and I can sort of puzzle out what Python is doing, but I’m not up to speed on the subtile parts that can make cumulative math errors (like what precision is carried in which variable types, how integers and floating point numbers interact, etc.) The intriguing thing to me, though, is that it changes the values for a single thermometer. Very strange. I’m going to have to revisit STEP1 code again and see if I can figure out what it would do to a single thermometer with no neighbors in the country. Maybe it’s ‘reaching’ around a bit for infill of the missing values and getting someplace cold?

Here is a bit of “the early years” for Indonesia so you can see the dropouts. -9999 is missing data.

It would not take very many places “cooled” in the past by reaching to more poleward thermometers for “infill” to bias the record to a warming tilt over time. As we’ve already seen, thermometers start out in the cool areas and migrate toward the equator over time. If the “infill” comes preferentially from cooler areas in the past, but more representative areas as the thermometer density rises, one would get this kind of a bias.

Yes, it’s “only a couple of tenths C”; but the whole AGW hoopla is over a few tenths and some folks are even getting excited about the 1/100 C place…

We again see that “pull to the middle” effect. Perhaps simply because more thermometers can be “created” where there has been a thermometer longer? If so, that would bring into the present all that bias from the early years when there were not very many thermometers. As we saw in earlier pages, it takes time for the thermometer count for a location to rise high enough and to stabilize and start giving valid averages for an area. To the extent this ‘stretch and reach’ infill process drags ‘the past’ into more of the data set, and into the future, it will be dragging historical bias into the present more representative data.

Speculation? Yes, but informed speculation…

Conclusions? Idle Speculations?

At first blush, I’m not sure what it means. But it looks like there are biases introduced that move the ‘center of mass’ of the records to the latitudes that have the most history. This, as they say, “deserves further consideration”…

That there are changes is not in doubt.

That the changes make a difference is not in doubt.

Exactly what these changes mean and what the impact is on the “Global Average Temperature” will need to wait for another day. But it is fascinating to look at…

For today: Look! The Shiny Thing!

And enjoy the moment on The Cusp…

    I’m a little slow this evening. I can’t see what you’re getting at in this sentence.

    I’m having a very good time getting the scripts and fortran to work – likely modifications I’m making are to compensate for not really knowing what I’m doing – also because I never worked in a real shop, never had to deal with anyone else’s stuff – just the clutzy stuff I did myself. you’ve been very generous to make these things available.

    REPLY: ” How about: ‘for a {country, continent, region, whatever I picked as the number to feed the script for a selection of thermometers}.’ Kind of a klutzy way of saying that the thermometers run around the latitude bands and some bands can even be emptied entirely.

    Glad you are enjoying the FORTRAN. Playing with code can be fun… And, IMHO, this is how Real Science ™ is supposed to be done. In the open, everything shared, for the pleasure of discovery and the benefit of all. I know, rather 1700s of me… but some times I have this ‘retro’ streak… -ems”

    never mind above. I get it. it’s the “place” that has its average latitude changed. sorry

    For those who prefer graphical views, here’s the NZ data.

    Re: Fortran and scripts, CP/M, Dbase2, Mbasic, Sinclair ZX?,and the Osborne where I started with all this. Best part of Osborne was the manual which had two parts. One for what to do and the other how it does it. I slowly learned that could make anything work starting from knowing nothing if I didn’t give up, never worked past 10:00PM (living definition of diminishing returns) and could remember what I had already tried so as to stay out of loops. I’ve been away so long, I’d forgotten that I needed to name the output file or that fortran named it a.out, and it took a while to understand how the wrappers relate to the fortran routines.

    This is a very interesting way to pick it up again. thanks

    Bob D:

    Nice graphic of the NZ data. Thanks.

    If you pretend that your graph is a statistical process control chart, you can see that Ma’ Nature takes appropriate action to bring the temps back into range whenever the process starts to go ‘out of control.’

    Interesting.

    E.M. – The side trip into the thermometers was worth it. I’ve been reading a lot and commenting little but the in-depth look at the who, what, when, where, and possibly why of the input data gathering has been a real eye-opener.

    Now I’m glad to see that you have “Now returned back to your regular programming…”

    @Bob D

    Nice graph. What software do you use for this?

    (Yes, I’ve decided I need to stop ‘depending on the kindness of others’ for graphs and actually make some myself… I’ve downloaded “Ploticus” based on not much analysis and liking the name… but have no idea if it is really the ‘easy install make simple graphs fast’ package I’m hoping for… So I’m going to start asking folks what software they use when they put up a graph.)

    The WWII warm Island Dropout is very visible, as is the 2002 2003 deletion of Campbell Island.

    I notice that the “new” line hangs back when the real temperatures move to the downside almost all the time (the exception being the WWII drop) and seem to have either an upward bias or a tendency to “extend the old trend in the old direction a bit longer” perhaps with amplification. (Amplification is not what you want from a filter that is supposed to be dampening thermometer change artifacts…). At any rate, the “red” dots go above the blue to the upside, but stop ON the blue to the downside, much more often than not. I suspect that on “deletions” it extends the old trend by fill-in and makes it persist, perhaps with amplification from more equatorward thermometers; but on additions, the data enter “live and now” and cause a fast move (though again with a bit of ‘upward sticky’ action).

    The late 1980’s early 1990’s had a fairly stable thermometer count and latitude distribution (per the New Zealand link:
    https://chiefio.wordpress.com/2009/11/01/new-zealand-polynesian-polarphobia/ ) but the average temp does drop.

    We’ve seen that N.Z. can be very sensitive to single thermometer changes. Was that time actually a colder than usual era in N.Z. or do I need to “go digging” into the single thermometer changes in that interval?

    At any rate, the “rocket ride” back to warm with the deletion of the One Cold Island is striking both in speed and in how the “new” exactly tracks to the upside…

    Overall, my impression is that STEP1 is an amplifier with a slight ‘upward sticky’ bias that also can have a ‘cool the past’ bias if the available reference stations are in a ‘coolward’ direction then (as seen in Indonesia and potentially in the inverse in Antarctica where the early stations were toward warmth so the early bias seems to be a warming bias)

    @H.R.

    The thermometer trip was a necessary diversion. I wish I could remember where I learned to “characterize the data” as an important first step. I *think* it was in my old FORTRAN IV class. The professor was adamant about being aware of precision issues, typing, overflow, underflow, bit shifts, data dropouts causing surprise divide by zero, data shifts sideways in fields causing decimal point shifts on reads, ….

    Frankly, in retrospect, about 1/2 the class was FORTRAN syntax and practice and the other half was how you can lose fingers and toes if you are not Very Very Careful! IIRC, one of the exercises was “write a program to do foo given bar input file” (with file spec.) But the file had ‘dirty data’ and we pretty much universally got caught on it. Then was the lecture on why you needed to actually “Look AT the DATA. Characterize it. How can it go wrong? Defend against it.”

    It was taught in the College of Engineering and almost 100% of the folks in the class were engineering majors. Since this “new tool” was being used for things like designing bridges and airplanes, they were Very VERY focused on making sure you did not use the tool badly…

    And, IMHO, that is the stone that Hansen has tripped over.

    R&D folks don’t have that emphasis on precision and care. It’s more about ‘big ideas’ and general conclusions. Nobody bothered to properly look at the input data and say: “Sorry, you can’t get clean trends out of this dirty and sparse of data with this much bias in the history”. Instead, they looked at it, problem by problem, and dreamed up patches around each, some with a ‘big idea’ to publish, but never asked if the whole “fix” was valid or how the parts might break with things like, oh, deleting 90% of the thermometers…

    @j fergusen

    Yes, it all comes back… I’d done mostly “C”, shell scripts, and database stuff for the last two or three decades. Last FORTAN I’d written was about 1980? Maybe earlier… Yet it was still in there somewhere, and a little practice warmed those particular brain cells back up nicely. I’m still pining over the demise of ALGOL (and I’ve even downloaded, but not installed, an ALGOL W compiler… my nostalgia does not wish to be disturbed by the reality of actually running it ;-)

    If I were designing a language, I think it would be mostly C like, with a more Pascal / Algol “look” (i.e. Begin / End rather than braces…), but with the detailed defined I.O. facilities of FORTRAN and maybe even some of the structured record reads of languages like COBOL and PL/1. IMHO, the biggest error made by most compiler designers is they leave the I/O package for libraries. PITA. Yes, systems programmers don’t care much about I/O, but just about everybody else lives in the I/O section all the time… It is such a PITA to do fixed format I/O in C that, though I’ve translated some of GIStemp to C, I stopped just because it was a pain. (C wants variable layout files, FORTRAN wants fixed… yes, each can walk the others walk, but at a cost…)

    FWIW, the one that caught me, on first brush up with GIStemp, was the default usage of “fort.1” or “fort.2” as file names if you just write to the device number… So you have these programs that don’t bother to name their files, just read and write away. And the wrapper script does all the housekeeping of changing all the output files to some other name and linking all the input files to defaults… A big file name shell game because the programmer was too lazy to pass a file name into the program at run time.

    As they say: “It’s a journey.”

    I’m just not sure “to where?”…
